The gate spring product has received mixed reviews. Some customers found it easy to install, adjustable, and effective at closing gates, while many others reported issues with the product's quality and durability. The positive reviews highlight that the spring is well-made, strong, and rust-free, with an adjustable tension feature that allows controlling the gate's closing speed. However, a significant number of customers experienced problems, such as the spring breaking or popping out during installation or shortly after use, being too heavy-duty or forceful, and poor quality screws and hardware.

Easy To Install, Easy To Adjust

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was time to update my gate spring because mine was old and no longer working properly. I liked this one because it is made by a company that has been around for over a century and because the glossy black finish would dress up my gate. It was easy to install with the 4 screws that are included. A great feature is that it can be adjusted to close at your desired speed. After installation, just adjust the spring tension by tightening the nut o...

Heavy Duty Spring

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with the durability and construction of this spring. Very easy to install and heavy duty for lasting use. Was a wonderful addition to my Deck gate. Gate closes easily and smoothly to help keep little from running off the deck.

Nice looking and sturdy gate spring

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this spring to use on a gate on our deck. It's nice looking, great quality and sturdy. I can't attest to its function because I need a different size. I will get the same brand because of its quality though! It's finished in a gloss black enamel of high Quality and seems corrosive proof!

National Hardware Gate Spring

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed the Gate Spring on my second Redwood Fence Gate adjacent to my street curb. The gate spring worked flawlessly when opening/closing the gate especially when I’m concerned it closes securely off the street level. The installation was very easy to install and make the adjustments to allow for a safe closing and opening. It is important to make tension adjustments when the gate is in the open position to allow for safe and accurate c...

Wish we'd added a spring years ago!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this spring to our backyard gate that the grand kids constantly left open allowing the dog to sneak out. Spring installation is straightforward and easy, allows for tension adjustment which we played with a little to get just right. It works very well and I like the lower tension for a slower smoother close. The black finish goes well with hinges and latch we've just replaced.

East install

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gate spring got the job done well. It was easy to install and now I don’t have to worry about my kids leaving the gate open for the dogs to escape from the yard. The materials are high quality and should hold up for a long time.

Nice closure

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the National Hardware gate spring because my son can’t remember to close our gate. It came with the mounting hardware. It seems pretty sturdy. So far it has been fairly simple to install and works well. I may add another just to help the gate close better. I’ve always liked the brand.

Great Spring Action

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well designed and quality made gate spring!! I'm totally impressed with the performance of this spring. The gate closes smoothly every time it is opened and released, no hesitance or sticking. It was easy to install and looks great.

Works great

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product about a week ago because my gate is getting older and since I have two dogs that go in my backyard security is of the utmost importance. It was easy to install and blended into my current fence color well. The spring on it is still new so make sure that you are ready for the force that your gate closes at first. Other than that it is a great product.
